Raising kids requires a truckload of patience, a lot of humility, and an active sense of humor. There is a lot of daily chaos when you live with small people who are learning the ins and outs of existence, and sometimes the best way to shake off a long day is to joke about it with strangers online.

Among its multitude of uses, the internet has become a safe haven for parents processing the absurdity of having children. If you scroll on any social media outlet long enough, you're bound to find a lot of funny tweets from parents just trying to make it through the day.

So, if you could use a laugh during your daily scroll, look no further.
